1 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 tbsp minced garlic

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and quinoa to oil., stirring until quinoa is lightly toasted. Pour broth into the pan and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 25 minutes. A white “halo” around the quinoa grains is a sign that they are done cooking. Remove from heat.
